The main card airs on Showtime, and Showtime Extreme carries the prelims. However, given the time constraints, Payan vs. Bravo may be an untelevised bout.

Payan, a former Bellator and Shark Fights fighter, made his Strikeforce debut in January and picked up a unanimous-decision victory. It moved the Arizona Combat Sports fighter’s current undefeated run to seven fights (6-0 with one no-contest). Three of the six wins have come via knockout.

Bravo, meanwhile, makes his promotional debut while in search for his fourth straight win. The San Diego-based Arena MMA fighter has posted knockouts in all seven of his pro victories. Bravo, who makes his big-show debut, earned his most recent one came in May over Nolan Sules.

As the UFC 189 tour made its last stop in Dublin, featherweight champ Jose Aldo was met with a torrent of abuse from the Irish fans. It might have been unpleasant, but it might also have been just what he needed.
